Effects of the nuisance diatom <i>Didymosphenia geminata</i> on invertebrates in a Rocky Mountain stream
Nuisance blooms of the stalked diatom Didymosphenia geminata have become an increasing concern worldwide, yet little is known about their effect on stream food webs. We investigated the effects of D. geminata blooms on stream invertebrates of the East River in the western Rocky Mountains. Areas with
Experimental Analysis of the Homing Behavior of White Footed Mice (Genus Peromyscus)
Activity rhythm in Peromyscus: its influence on rates of recovery from Nembutal
Solitary bee genera differ in foraging activity timing and temperature; Evidence of a seasonal dietary shift in Hoplitis fulgida
Global warming, and exacerbated warming temperatures with humane activity, could impose novel conditions on the lives of many organisms. Of those, the behaviors and diets of solitary bees face adaptive stress as their optimal foraging conditions and preferred floral resources fluctuate. Trap nests m

Social Security: Do Individuals in Tight-Knit Social Groups Perceive Greater Security?
Antipredator behavior is influenced by many factors including group size. Group size effects are seen when animals in larger social groups allocate less time to antipredator vigilance while foraging, but group size alone does not capture the diversity and complexity of sociality and behavior. An ind

Interpopulation variation and optimal mating in the perennial herb, Polemonium brandegeei
Generalist pollinated plants receive pollination services from a wide range of animals, but pollinator effectiveness varies. More effective pollinators in generalist systems optimize pollen transfer by promoting outcrossing between more distant plants. This leads to increased pollinator mediated sel
Evidence of introgressive hybridization and mutation in certain Colorado populations of <i>Aquilegia</i>
The effects of water and phosphorus on floral traits and nectar production of <i>Ipomopsis aggregata</i>
Floral traits and nectar production of Ipomopsis aggregata were measured in response to water and phosphorus treatments applied to two morphotypes. Typical morphotypes underwent water and phosphorus treatments. Because stunted floral traits may be a response to drought stress, only water treatments

The Effects of Distance From a Yellow-Bellied Marmot Burrow on Plant Diversity
Mammal mounds have been found to have diverse effects on vegetation. The area around yellow-bellied marmot (Marmota flaviventris) burrows was examined for different morphospecies and plant cover to find if diversity decreased near a burrow. Morphospecies were identified to family to look for trends
